Description of the Invention (1) (Technical Field to Which the Invention belongs) The present invention relates to a semiconductor device, and m Λ Used as a protection circuit to protect internal circuits from surge voltage. (Known technology) In the past, in order to protect the interrogator of an M0S transistor that constitutes an internal circuit, an input circuit or an input / output circuit connected to the internal circuit is provided with a resistor, a dipole, or a transistor. Protection circuit a An example of a conventional protection circuit is described below with reference to FIG. As shown in FIG. 7, on a p-type semiconductor substrate, a first 11-type high-concentration diffusion layer 2 and a second n-type high-concentration diffusion layer 3 are formed at intervals from each other and extend in a direction perpendicular to the paper surface. The first and second in-type high-concentration diffusion layers 2 and 3 are separated by the field oxide film 4, and an interlayer insulating film 5 'is formed on the first and second < n-type high-concentration diffusion layers 2 and 3 to insulate between the layers. A first metal layer 6 extending parallel to the first n-type high concentration diffusion layer 2 and a second metal layer 7 extending parallel to the second n-type high concentration diffusion layer 3 are formed on the film 5. The first metal layer 6 is connected to the input pad INP of an input signal to an input circuit or an input / output circuit, and is also connected to the first n-type high-concentration diffusion layer 2 through a contact. Both ends of the second metal layer 7 are connected to the reference voltage pad VSP that supplies the reference voltage Vss, and the center of the second metal layer 7 is connected to the second n-type high-concentration diffusion layer 3. connection. The operation of the conventional protection circuit will be described below. When the positive surge voltage is applied from the input pad INP to the protection circuit, it is connected to the input pad INP through the first metal layer 6 with a high concentration of the first η-type.

Description of the Invention (2) The PN junction of the diffusion layer 2 and the semiconductor substrate will break down, so the positive hole flows into p. Guideli substrate 1. If a positive hole flows into the p-type semiconductor substrate 1, the potential in the area near the first n-type high-concentration diffusion layer 2 of the p-type semiconductor substrate] will locally rise, and the parasitic bipolar electrode body qP will act. 'Bipolar current flows into the input Between the chip INP and the reference voltage pad VSP, the inrush current can be eliminated in the reference voltage pad VSP. In addition, when a negative surge voltage is applied to the protection circuit from the input chip INP, the P-type semiconductor substrate 1 and the first high-concentration diffusion layer 2 become forward biased, and the forward current of the diode flows into the reference voltage pad. Vsp and the entire input INP 'can make the inrush current disappear in the input pad INP. According to the above operation principle, the protection circuit can quickly absorb the surge voltage, and avoid the situation where high voltage is applied to the internal circuit, so as to prevent the internal components of the semiconductor device from being damaged. (Problems to be Solved by the Invention) The area directly below the connection portion of the first metal layer 6 in the first ti-type high-concentration diffusion layer 2 has a low impedance, and a positive surge voltage is applied to the input pad INP. At this time, the breakdown current is concentrated in the area directly below the connection portion with the i-th metal layer 6 of the first-type high-concentration diffusion layer 2. Therefore, the pN junction between the first 11-type high-concentration diffusion layer 2 and the p-type semiconductor substrate 丨 may be broken, or the first n-type high-concentration diffusion layer 2 itself may be broken. In addition, if the current flow path from the connection between the ^ -type high-concentration diffusion layer 2 and the 丨 -type metal layer 6 to the P-type semiconductor substrate i is considered, the η-type high-concentration diffusion layer for the i-th metal layer 6 and The distance of the current flow path in the vertical direction (up and down direction) of the connection surface of 2 will * current the current flow in the parallel direction (left and right direction) of the connection surface. 5- This paper scales the house standard i | t (CNS) A4 secret (210 29fi ^ ) ------- --------- ^ ----- Install -------- Order ------ I-- line (please read the first Note on this page). Printed by the Consumer Cooperatives of the Intellectual Property Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs 459396 A7 —: __B7______ 5. Description of the invention (3) The distance is still small, so the breakdown current will flow into the first metal layer 6 and the first. The connecting surface of the η-type high-concentration diffusion layer 2 is perpendicular, but it is difficult to flow into the parallel parallel direction. Therefore, the 'parasitic bipolar transistor Qp cannot reliably absorb the inrush current. Therefore, in order to improve the ability of the protection circuit to absorb the surge current, the area of the first η-type high-concentration diffusion layer 2 must be increased. However, if the area of the first-type high-concentration diffusion layer 2 becomes larger, the input capacity or output The capacity will increase, the delay time of the input signal or output signal will increase, and the operation speed of the circuit will be delayed. In view of the foregoing, the object of the present invention is to improve the ability to absorb surge current without increasing the area of the high-concentration diffusion layer that is electrically connected to the input pad. (Method to solve the problem) In order to achieve the aforementioned object, the semiconductor device of the present invention includes a first high-concentration diffusion layer formed on a first conductivity type < semiconductor substrate and a second conductivity type, and a semiconductive m substrate Up and down! The high-concentration diffusion layer forms a gap, and the second high-concentration diffusion layer of the second conductivity type to which a reference voltage is applied; it is used to input or input the input circuit or the input-output circuit. The input diaphragm of the signal is electrically connected to the high-roller diffusion layer. The conductive layer; the second conductive type of the U-th concentration diffusion region formed in the semiconductor substrate! Low concentration diffusion layer. The so-called input cymbals here also include: input and output cymbals used to input input signals or output signals. _ If the semiconductor device according to the present invention is the first among semiconductor substrates! The i-th low-concentration diffusion layer 2 is formed in the area immediately below the high-concentration diffusion layer, so that the current flow in the vertical direction (up and down direction) of the main surface of the semiconductor substrate is _____________ ~ 6-This paper applies the Chinese national standard (CNS ) A4 gauge & (21Q x 297 ^ -------- ---: --'-- ^ ----- install ---------- 丨 order -------- line • * (Please read the notes on the back of the factory \ write this page)
